Druids are the heart of Dramoor's primal magic, deeply bonded with the natural world. They wield the forces of life and growth, standing against those who would despoil the land. Their magic is as diverse as the ecosystem they protect, capable of nurturing life or unleashing nature's wrath. As stewards of the balance, Druids navigate the complex relationships between all living things, championing the cause of harmony and renewal.
Where the primal forces of nature intertwine with the threads of magic, Druids stand as the guardians and conduits of this raw, elemental power. Their connection to the natural world allows them to tap into abilities far beyond the ken of ordinary beings, making them revered, sometimes feared, figures across the land.
Druids are more than mere spellcasters; they are the voice of the earth, the guardians of its secrets, and the champions of its will. Whether through fierce protection, sage advice, or the nurturing of life, Druids embody the resilience and diversity of the natural world they so fiercely protect. Druids stand as the embodiment of nature's will, guardians of its secrets and masters of its magics. As you embark on your journey through these ancient lands, you may choose to hone your connection to the natural world through a variety of subclasses and specializations, each offering unique paths to wield the powers at your fingertips.
Druids & Firearms
Druids hold a distinct stance on the subject of firearms. Rooted deeply in their reverence for the natural world and its sacred balance, druids universally eschew the use of firearms. To them, these instruments of metal and gunpowder symbolize a stark departure from the harmonious existence they strive to maintain with nature. They view firearms as not only disruptive to the delicate equilibrium of ecosystems but also as a manifestation of humanity's propensity to dominate and alter the environment in unsustainable ways.
This collective aversion goes beyond mere preference; it is a philosophical and ethical principle that guides their interactions with the world. Druids argue that firearms, with their loud discharges and the violence they embody, represent a profound disconnection from the natural rhythms and cycles that govern life. They advocate for solutions and defense mechanisms that align with natural processes, promoting the use of elemental magic, animal companionship, and plant-based defenses as alternatives that work in harmony with the world rather than against it. For a druid, to wield a firearm is to forsake their pact with nature, betraying the very essence of what it means to be a guardian of the wilds.
Subclasses:
Subclasses provide a focused lens through which Druids can view their role in the world. Whether you feel the call of the wild as a Beastmaster Shapeshifter, seeking communion with the creatures of the land, or the wisdom of the ages as an Oracle, divining the patterns of fate that weave through the fabric of reality, your choice will shape your journey. Perhaps you'll stand as a Nature Guardian, defending the sacred groves with the strength of warriors, or delve into the mysteries of elemental magic as a Geomancer. Each subclass not only defines your abilities but also your place within the tapestry of Dramoor's lore.
Beastmaster Shapeshifter (+Ranger lvl 3):
They are the ultimate embodiment of the wild, moving fluidly between forms to adapt to any situation.

Their mastery over shapeshifting allows them to assume the guise of various animals, each form granting them new abilities and perspectives. Whether stalking through the forest as a wolf, soaring through the sky as an eagle, or swimming through the depths as a fish, they experience life from the viewpoint of their chosen forms, gaining unique insights into the natural order.
Beastmaster Shapeshifters are not only versatile and formidable in their animal forms but also serve as vital guardians of nature. They often stand at the forefront of battles against those who threaten the balance, using their shapeshifting powers to outmaneuver and overwhelm foes, ensuring the sanctity and survival of their natural habitats.

Rare Druidic Subclass
Oceanic Druid - Sea Whisperer:
Their innate bond with the aquatic realm enables them to tap into the essence of water, explore its profound depths, and converse with its diverse inhabitants.
Oceanic Druids, known as Sea Whisperers, are the mystic custodians of the ocean's secrets and the advocates of its myriad life forms. In the diverse ecosystem of Dramoor, where the terrestrial and marine worlds converge, these druids embody the fluidity and enigmatic nature of the sea. Their innate bond with the aquatic realm enables them to tap into the essence of water, explore its profound depths, and converse with its diverse inhabitants.
Sea Whisperers possess an unparalleled understanding of marine environments, from the shallows to the abyssal plains. They can command the currents, summon sea creatures, and even manipulate water itself to defend and nurture the oceanic world. Their magic is as varied and dynamic as the sea, allowing them to adapt to the challenges posed by both the natural and unnatural forces threatening the marine balance.
These druids are not only powerful allies in safeguarding the aquatic ecosystems but also vital in maintaining the symbiotic relationship between land and sea. Through their actions, Sea Whisperers ensure the continuity and health of marine life, advocating for the preservation and respect of the ocean's ancient, life-giving forces.

Class Bonuses:
| Stat Bonuses |
+2 WIS, +1 CON |
| Special Abilities |
Mastery over water and aquatic environments, ability to summon and control sea creatures |
Unique Abilities:
Sea-Whisperers are granted unique spell-like abilites as they progress in level. These abilites become more potent as they age.
Expand Abilities
Level 2 - Aqua Affinity:
Gain the ability to breathe underwater indefinitely and swim at double your walking speed. You also gain resistance to cold damage, embodying the resilience needed to explore the ocean's depths.
Level 2 - Tidal Communion:
You can communicate with aquatic creatures as if you shared a common language, understanding their needs, fears, and desires. This ability allows you to gather information, seek guidance, or enlist the sea's inhabitants as allies.
Level 4 - Fish Form
You gain the ability to transform into a small or medium non-magical fish, embracing the essence of the ocean's inhabitants. This transformation is a testament to your deep bond with the sea and its creatures, allowing you to explore underwater environments and navigate through waters with ease for finite amounts of time.
Level 6 - Coral Empathy:
Your connection to the living corals allows you to channel their life-giving energies. As an action, you can heal allies within 30 feet of you, using a pool of hit points equal to five times your Druid level. Alternatively, you can create protective coral barriers that provide cover.
Level 10 - Tempest Call:
You gain the ability to influence the weather at sea. Once per long rest, you can cast control weather without expending a spell slot, but only to create weather conditions typical for oceanic environments (e.g., fog, storms).
Level 14 - Deep Guardian:
Embrace the crushing pressure and darkness of the ocean's depths. As an action, you can create an aura of deep water pressure around you for 1 minute. Enemies within this aura have their speed halved, suffer disadvantage on Strength checks, and take cold damage at the start of their turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Level 20 - Summon Kraken:
Having reached the zenith of your connection with the marine world, you can now summon a Kraken to aid you in battle or to enforce your will upon the seas. Once per month, this ancient creature, a legend among sailors and a titan of the depths, obeys your commands, unleashing its terrifying power against your foes or helping you navigate and control the ocean's vast mysteries.
Playing an Oceanic Druid:
Oceanic Druids are as versatile as the sea itself, capable of healing and protecting their allies, navigating the most treacherous waters, and unleashing the wrath of the ocean upon their foes. Whether aboard a ship, exploring a sunken ruin, or safeguarding coastal communities, these Druids embody the power and mystery of the sea, drawing strength from the very essence of the ocean.
Sea-Whisperer Limitations (Penalties)
While Sea Whisperers draw their strength and abilities from the depths of the ocean, their connection to the marine world presents a unique limitation when they find themselves on land. This bond, so integral to their power, wanes the further they stray from the embrace of the sea.
Expand Limitations
Landbound Lament:
When a Sea Whisperer's feet touch the land, they experience a diminishment of their oceanic magic. While on land and more than a kilometre away from a natural body of water (sea, ocean, lake, or river), their connection to the marine elements weakens, resulting in the following effects:
Reduced Spell Potency:
Spells and abilities that draw directly from oceanic or marine sources have their effectiveness reduced. For example, the range, duration, or healing effects might be halved, reflecting the Sea Whisperer's weakened link to the source of their power.
Slowed Regeneration of Aquatic Abilities:
Abilities that rely on a recharge, such as Fish Form or Tidal Communion, take twice as long to become available again after use. This represents the Sea Whisperer's struggle to draw upon the ocean's energy from afar.
Diminished Aquatic Communication:
The ability to communicate with marine life or command the weather above the seas becomes more challenging, requiring successful concentration checks to achieve effects that would otherwise be effortless near or in the water.
These limitations encourage Sea Whisperers to stay close to their elemental domain or to seek out ways to carry the essence of the sea with them on their journeys inland, such as carrying vials of seawater or talismans made from coral or seashells. It also adds a layer of strategic depth to their adventures, compelling them to balance their time between the call of the ocean and the needs of their quests on land.
Specializations:
Specializations, on the other hand, allow for further refinement of your Druidic path. These are not mere professions but callings that enhance your innate abilities with specific trait bonuses. As an Alchemist, your wisdom becomes your greatest tool in crafting potions that can heal, harm, or bewitch. The Hunter/Tracker specialization sharpens your perception and agility, making you a master of the hunt. Or perhaps the art of the Herbalist calls to you, offering deep wisdom in the secrets of the flora that carpets the land.
It is important to remember that while the path of subclasses and specializations is rich with potential, the choice to walk it is not obligatory. The world of Dramoor is vast, and the ways of the Druid are as diverse as the lands they protect. You may find your destiny intertwined with one of these paths, or you may carve a niche of your own design, blending the skills and magics in a way that the world has never seen.
